I have a 1989 Force 50 Model #507L9B. I checked compression end of last season and it was 120 in both cylinders. Now it is 120 in #1 and 60 in #2. The motor will not start UNLESS I remove #2 plug then it runs fine in the tank. If I put #2 plug in it will not start.
I had the boat out a few times this year and it ran ok--just a little hard to start--fresh water only.
First, any idea why #2 has gone bad?
Do I need to rebuild the motor or could it be a head gasket?
How long would a rebuild take? I have rebuilt a couple of car engines years ago but not a boat.
Any insights would be very appreciated.
